Users always hate when you change anything in established UIs so this doesn’t really tell you that much qualitatively about the UI itself.
You have to wait for a while for sentiments to settle before people actually figure stuff out. Until then, you just kind of have to rely on your UX skills to evaluate the UI (and monitor metrics of course)
Looks like it’s designed for Youtube’s movie and shows offerings, given the prominent “jump to next segment” button. Always ironic how far away from “broadcast yourself” we have gotten.
Overall, I don’t hate it.
I REALLY LOVE how the fucking notification tab in Firefox on my computer doesn’t show who fuckin actually made the goddamn video now, you hafta know by the icon. They’d really fucking sweet. Also it still has “Uploaded:” and that’s serially still necessary. Good and cool, you shit rubbish platform that keeps sucking more every day.
Honestly, the new design fixes the one thing that’s bothered me about the old player for years, which is the shading it applies to the bottom portion of the video when the UI is open. If I want to pause to read some text at the bottom of the video, I’m just out of luck because it’s basically blacked out the bottom of the screen for no discernible reason. This new UI is a lot cleaner in that regard.
